Add core API for registering DMI card names, so user space utils such
as PA and UCM can distinguish various products.
Previously on ASoC, the card short name, driver name and long name are
all the same as the machine driver name.
The patch adds more board information:
   card driver name --->  machine driver name
   card short name  --->  DMI_BOARD_NAME or DMI_PRODUCT_NAME
   card long name and
   card component   --->  short name;driver name;(DMI_SYS_VENDOR,
                          optional);(the firmware name, optional)

I'm not a developer for SoC sound interfaces or Skylake something,
however I wonder the reason to add fiile local variable for this
purpose. Could I request your intension about it?

Here, I assume a platform with some sound intefaces (I don't know we
rarely have the situation or not). If several drivers are probed for
these interfaces, the 'snd_soc_set_card_names()' might cause a race
condition between the drivers against the local variable. However,
there's no usage of lock primitive.
Additionally, when probing processing finishes for the second driver,
the local variable changes its contents. Then, ALSA core returns the
renewed string as the component of the first driver. This is not good.

If it's too rare that a platform with several interfaces, please
inform it to me.
Thanks for reviewing.
I allocated an array here just intending for drivers to store
card->long_name, since I
assumed (by mistake) that one platform has only one interface.
I'll use dynamic allocate and cleanup instead.

For example, we can see Allwinner A31 has two interfaces for audio functionality. See clause '8.9. DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE' and '7.5.2. HDMI BLOCK DIAGRAM' in this user manual:

http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/A31/A3x_release_document/A31/IC/A31%20user%20manual%20V1.1%2020130630.pdf

The data for these interfaces is transferred by different DMA contexts, thus I can assume a different driver is developed for each interface. Depending on the driver implementations, your code might cause a bug for them.

(I'm not a developer for SoC interface, so have no detail about it, of cource.)


As another advice, when you add static variable to keep it in ELF .data section and the variable is just referred to by one function, it's better to constrain the scope of the variable by adding it inner the function. For example, in your case, this is better practice:

int snd_soc_set_card_names(struct snd_soc_card *card,
                           const char *board,
                           const char *vendor, const char *firmware)
{
    static char card_longname[LONGNAME_SIZE];
    ...

Please notice that callers are still under the race condition against the variable.
